Cianna's Smile Spring Soiree, Sickle Cell awareness gala

Dearest reader,

It is with the utmost pleasure and a heart full of anticipation that we extend to you a most cordial invitation to Cianna's Smile Spring Soirée – a grand affair of elegance and purpose.

On the evening of Saturday, the 17th of May, in the year 2025, we shall gather at the splendid Hilton Reading from six o’clock in the evening until the stroke of midnight, to partake in a gala that is as enchanting as it is vital. Our noble aim is to raise awareness and support for those who bear the burden of sickle cell disease, with the hope of providing a much-needed respite for 100 families during the summer months.

The evening promises a delightful array of experiences, commencing with a most refined drinks reception, followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner. The night will be adorned with entertainment to delight the senses, an exciting raffle and auction to inspire your generosity, and a lively disco to dance the night away.

Your presence will not only grace us with your company but will also contribute to a cause of profound significance. Together, we shall make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Prepare to be a part of a night that will be remembered fondly by all who attend.

Theme: Spring Elegance with a Touch of Bridgerton
